Chapter 400
After Cameron let out those words, it was like a dam had burst, releasing all the fury and frustration that had been simmering inside him for days.
The version of Cameron who once admired his father, had completely cut ties after uncovering his father’s affair and abandonment of his devoted wife.
Griffin stared at Cameron, utterly shocked. Cameron had always been like a leopard, someone whose temper commanded both fear and respect, leading him to be bold and unapologetically open about his moods.
But now, as Cameron unleashed his powerful voice in a fierce roar, Griffin realized that the once weak leopard had grown into a full–fledged predator, and he was not getting any younger.
Griffin stood up, trembling, and pointed at Cameron, but his words were shaky. “You’re being incredibly disrespectful…”
ameron shot back, “If being a good son means being exploited and abandoned by my father, I’d rather not be a good son.”
He paused for a moment, his anger subsiding a bit. “You should leave. The bond between us was broken the moment you schemed against my mom and heartlessly scattered her ashes.”
Griffin’s face turned pale. “So you knew…”
A menacing smile played on Cameron’s lips. “Yes, I overheard your conversation at the funeral home on the day Mom was cremated. You had been plotting against her from the beginning. You truly deserve what’s coming.”
Cameron clenched his fist tightly and slammed it down on the table, causing it to shake violently before finally tipping over. The table leg had snapped under the force of Cameron’s punch.
Griffin was terrified and shrank back like a frightened bird.
Cameron glared at him. “Dawson International is a Dawson family asset, and your legitimate wife, my mom, was part of it. I’m the only rightful heir to Dawson International. If you betray my mom’s wishes and hand it over to your illegitimate child, I will be taking harsh – actions against Dawson International.”
Then, Cameron stormed out.
Griffin slumped into the chair. His attempt to assert his authority over Cameron backfired spectacularly. Cameron had transformed dramatically in a short time. He was no longer blindly loyal and righteous; he had become a force to reckon with, untamed and fierce.
When Griffin returned home, his mood was still unsettled. His wife massaged his shoulders, asking, “What’s the matter? You just went to see that boy, so why do you look so upset?”
ne
Griffin snapped at her. “Don’t you dare speak of Cameron that way again…”
The new Mrs. Dawson immediately started whining, “Oh dear, I barely got to enjoy a few good days, and now your heart is leaning back towards Cameron? What about me and our son?”
Griffin sighed heavily, a serious look on his face. “I’m not siding with Cameron. I’m doing this for your sake. You don’t understand. Cameron has changed completely. He’s become dark and unpredictable, and if you cross him, he won’t let it slide.”
Griffin’s wife tried to appear confident. “I’m not scared of him. He’s just someone we’ve beaten before.”
Griffin was deeply worried. “Cameron knows what we’ve done. It seems he won’t let us off the hook.”
Griffin’s wife, once so confident, now trembled, and her words were faltering and confusing. “Our son will protect us. Cameron won’t be
a threat.”
